1840s terrace on Kingsway, with rear gardens backing on to King's Esplanade, as seen here. The gardens originally extended to the front, with a private beach, but they were truncated following a compulsory purchase order by Hove Council in the 1900's in order to give a continuous promenade above the beach. All the buildings are grade II listed - for Courtenay House, Courtenay Tye and Courtenay Beach (the first 3 houses from the left) see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1280508?section=official-listing, for Courtenay Lodge (next along) https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1298640?section=official-listing, for Courtenayside (set back) see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1187565?section=official-listing, for Courtenay Towers (with the tower) see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1205884?section=official-listing and for Little Courtenay (on the far right) see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1205902?section=official-listing.
